Answer:

A market economy is an economic system in which the decisions regarding investment, production and distribution are guided by the price signals created by the forces of supply and demand. The major characteristic of a market economy is the existence of factor markets that play a dominant role in the allocation of capital and the factors of production.Market economies range from minimally regulated free-market and laissez-faire systems where state activity is restricted to providing public goods and services and safeguarding private ownership, to interventionist forms where the government plays an active role in correcting market failures and promoting social welfare. State-directed or dirigist economies are those where the state plays a directive role in guiding the overall development of the market through industrial policies or indicative planning—which guides yet does not substitute the market for economic planning—a form sometimes referred to as a mixed economy.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30

Explanation:

To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

r is the rate of interest
t is the time in years

Future value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5

Future value = $1514.30

In the month of June, Bedford Company sold 350 widgets. The average sales price was $34. During the month, fixed costs were $6,3

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In June, Bedford Company sold 350 widgets. The average sales price was $34. During the month, fixed costs were $6,320 and variable costs were 40% of sales.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 34*0.4= $13.6

Now, we can determine the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio:

contribution margin per unit= selling price - unitary variable cost

contribution margin per unit= 34 - 13.6= $20.4

contribution margin ratio= contribution margin per unit/selling price

contribution margin ratio= 20.4/34

contribution margin ratio= 0.6

To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 6,320/20.4

Break-even point in units= 310 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 6,320/0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $10,533

To calculate the margin of safety, we will use the following formula:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 350*34 - 10,533

Margin of safety= $1,367

Finally, the desired profit is $4,000:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (6,320 + 4,000) / 20.4

Break-even point in units= 506 units

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 10,320/0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $17,200

The use of debt in the firm's capital structure will increase ROE if the firm:_____.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer: c. earns a higher return than the rate paid on debt.

Explanation:

If the debt that the company incurs leads to the company making more money than they are paying as interest for the debt, then more money will be available as net income which would increase the Return on Equity.

ROE is calculated by dividing the Net Income by Shareholder equity. Interest is an expense. If this expense is lower then the increase in net income as a result of the debt then it follows that net income would increase and so would ROE.
